American Dad!, Vol. 6

100% best cartoon ever made

Because of the way the early DVD releases were set, Volume Six of American Dad actually contains the episodes from Season Five. The DVD has all 18 of the season five episodes, which continue the story (or stories) of the week format, while occasionally referring back to events from prior episodes. This is really the season where the focus of the show shifted from mainly being about Stan's CIA job to putting more of a focus on the other characters and having some of the apocalyptic episodes (like one involving the Rapture) that the show has featured in later seasons. The standout episodes from this season for me were "My Morning Straightjacket" in which Stan decides to follow a band across the country and Francine has to channel her inner groupie to get him back, "May the Best Stan Win" in which Stan has to battle a cyborg version of himself for Francine's affection, and "Great Space Roaster" in which the family roats Roger for his birthday, and he decides to kill them all for making fun of him.For those who get the DVD set, there are commentary tracks on selected episodes that include the writers of the particular episode and usually the director. There are deleted scenes for most of the episodes, a making-of feature for the episode Rapture's Delight, and uncensored audio (although some audio does get bleeped out).The show continues to be clever and funny. I do think the shift away from Stan's job being the focus of the show did hurt it a bit, but not so much that it was unwatchable. As most people are aware, even though it is animated, it is still very much an adult show and not suitable for young kids. The show makes fun of pretty much anything and everything, and there are a lot of off-color jokes. But, if you like the brand of humor, it is still worth watching.

Good stuff

The show is great and this volume has some of my favorite episodes. Worth buying 100%, especially when they are unrated, there is a whole new level of funny in these episodes. That being said, Amazon seems to have a continuous issue sending out dvds with obviously broken cases. The shipping and packing of the product is good, so the cases must be broken before sending them out. Its fairly obvious when all the discs are loose and sliding around in a shattered case. I didn't take any stars off because that's not the product's fault.

When the first season of American Dad came out, I said we really need to keep an eye on this because it has potential to develop into something really great (I said that with King of the Hill as well, and was right). American Dad now has 6 volumes, all increasingly better. In my list of favorite animated shows, this easily takes spot number 2.American Dad has a smorgasbord of interesting characters and all of them are coming out in full force for volume 6! Roger is on point, he is the most rude he has ever been, and when AD spoofs Lord of the Rings he is an EXCELLENT Smeagol! Stan is still the typical conservative tight @$$ "All American" male. Meaner than he has been in the past, harder on Steve than ever with some quotes that totally vomit on Steve's confidence. Steve is still his nerdy self, but when he gets Post Traumatic War Reenactment Syndrome, oh lord its funny! A nice new take on Steve's more "savage" side. You also get to see the ups and downs of Haley's relationship with Reggie, the killer Koala bear. The Mad Max type spoof in "Rapture's Delight" you just have to see, because its great. But what I loved most, was when the family roasted Roger on his birthday. I'm not going to spoil it for you, because to me its one of the best moments of interaction between animated characters ever!My only complaints are:1- As one reviewer said, certain episodes are not uncensored. I don't know why that is, but it disrupted the flow for me. That was the whole reason I bought the DVD! For uncensored material!!!2- Reggie is just a weak character to me. I hate his script. He really has no good jokes, and it really annoys me. I would like to see him once or twice. I honestly think its time to kill him off. Just my opinion.You really can't talk about American Dad without mentioning Family Guy. I think American Dad has just blown away Family Guy. The writing has been better, the characters are way more interesting, and the jokes/spoofs are fresh. So far none of the characters have underwent such a drastic change that is destorys their very fabric of meaning (like Stewie going from being hell-bent on murder to a possibly in the closet homosexual) or Brian (one day he hates black people, one day hes dating a black girl, one day he sees Jesus IN HIS HOUSE, the next day hes Atheist) Plus, Family Guy for the most part was becoming all-out political propaganda. Sad that American Dad (the show that is based heavily on political viewpoints) has saved us from that. I'm obviously a conservative, but thats my beliefs and I respect liberals views just the same as mine. But I cannot stomach having more liberal media crammed down my throat by way of my once favorite animated tv show that is supposed to be based on shock comedy, fun, and lewdness more than the government. American Dad pokes fun at both sides of the fence. You have Stan with his conservative outlook and then Haley counteracts with her liberal ways. Priceless. Its all in balance. I don't have to sit there and get fired up because I feel like someone is singling me out. Libs and Cons can laugh at themselves then at each other through this show. I absolutely love that and its one of the reasons I think American Dad is taking over. I hope AD does the episodes 1-3 spoofs of Star Wars instead of Cleveland show!

This volume is a little weird how some episodes are uncensored and then some episodes are not uncensored. However, the is one of the best compilations of American Dad. It includes Merlot Down Dirty Shame, a hilarious homage to Sideways, where Roger just cant win. In Shallow Vows Stan and Francine truly learn that their marriage is based on superficial needs. And in A Jones for Smith, Stan gets hooked on what he believes is cold medication. This episode also includes a parody of a medicine commercial that will have you roaring. All of the episodes are good in this one- just listed some of my favorite moments.

I am a big fan of the show American Dad so this was a must to buy when it came out online for half the retail price. This season includes 'Rapture's Delight' episode (hence Stan Smith looking like Snake from the film Escape From New York), a Vietnamese/golf course flashback titled 'In Country.....Club', and 'My Morning Straitjacket' when Stan gets overly obsessed with Hayley's favorite band, My Morning Jacket just to name a few highlights in this season.If you like Seth McFarlane's sense of humor like Cleveland Show or Family Guy, this is a must buy to add to your collection.

Merci bcp

Tutto ok Amazon come al solito anticipa i tempi velocissimi e bravissimi

Todo en orden, el producto llego antes de lo esperado, buen precio y se encuentra en optimas condiciones. Thanks a lot

Dommage que cette série ne soit pas en vente en français. La version italienne ne vaut pas la française : les dialogues sont normaux, c'est-à-dire que l'humour ne ressort presque plus. La traduction italienne n'est pas fidèle à celle en français. Les dialogues des personnages sont édulcorés. Cela ne me fait plus rire du tout. Pourtant cette série me fait bien rire lorsqu'elle passe sur le petit écran.

Despite being in it's 8th year, the creative team behind American Dad show no signs of dropping the ball - this show just keeps getting funnier. It remains relevant as political satire - although the 'joke' in that regard is clearly not pushed as hard as it was in earlier seasons - but as 'formula sit-com' it truly stands out. The jokes come thick and fast and the hit to miss ratio is good, the characters are well drawn (literally and figuratively...) and in Roger they have created one of the all-time great comedy characters. And to top it off, the question about who is the hottest cartoon character has finally been answered; it's Francine Smith without a doubt.I couldn't recommend this highly enough. Indeed, I would recommend buying every single box set available. It is impossi;e to be disappointed by this brilliant show. May it long continue!
